Hi Johnny, Thanks for pointing out. I thought I can raise any Tomcat issues in this forum.
Good news is that I managed to get rid of this problem by running Xvfb server and using the DISPLAY variable to point to this display. Also removed the -Djava.awt.headless=true option. Now the error is gone. Thanks anyways for the quick response.

(5.8) and Tomcat 5.5.9 The production server is in a controlled environment, managed by System Admins, with limited acces to me. This was working fine one month back, but suddenly this issue started to crop up. We dont have much expertise in Tomcat here, so I could not much help from colleagues. I hope to get some pointers here. Thanks a lot in advance. Regards, Gopi ---------------- Gopi I dont know... dont use Sun stuff which I imagine this server is... But the linux guru here says he thinks its because the X11 libraries are missing or corrupted. Tomcat may be triggering it because a servlet needs a graphics lib... like for example captcha needs the graphics head. Cant make the server headless if the apps need that stuff... ... we guess ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- HARBOR : http://www.kewlstuff.co.za/index.htm The most powerful application server on earth.
